About
I really love teaching. I enjoy seeing my students develop their abilities and own style. I approach each student individually and begin my off with a questionaire to learn more about their background in art. I work with a variety levels and taylor my curriculum accordingly.
Since my childhood, I have had a deep appreciation for nature which has served as a constant theme throughout my artwork. As I live on a partially wooded lot within walking distance of
Lake Michigan, I find daily inspiration which greatly influences my work. Throughout the years, I have enjoyed working in many mediums including watercolor, oil, acrylic, and textile.
My current focus is mixed media and in particular, I enjoy using up-cycled materials to create fine art. My most recent pieces incorporate many materials including textiles, metals, and found objects. By using discarded objects in my artwork, the viewer can join me in re-imagining items that were once considered waste into something one could now consider beautiful.
